RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOGNIZING JON R. HUNT FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, THE SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WHEREAS, Jon R. Hunt has been an employee of the City of South Bend since 1975 and in his eighteen years of public service has served as Community Development Planner, Director of Community Development, Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, Redevelopment Director and Executive Director of Community and Economic Development; and WHEREAS, Jon has been and continues to be a quiet, driving force behind a number of innovative projects in South Bend that have been years ahead of their time and are now -4- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - October 15, 1993 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) f. continued... being replicated in other parts of the state, including the location of Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium in downtown South Bend, the reopening of the East Race Waterway, the neighborhood planning effort in several of South Bend's older neighborhoods and the master plan for the Airport 2010 project; and WHEREAS, Jon, with innovation, planning, leadership, and vision leveraged declining federal funds through his vision of establishing various not-for-profit corporations to work cooperatively with local government to achieve economic development, housing rehabilitation, downtown redevelopment and neighborhood commercial district revitalization. Further, through judicious use of declining public dollars, Jon has been able to leverage private investment through vehicles such as the Business Development Corporation, Urban Enterprise Association, Housing Development Corporation, Center City Associates, and the Neighborhood Business Development Corporation that Jon was a catalyst informing; and WHEREAS, no challenge is too great to discourage Jon. His long range planning, his eternal optimism and his indefatigable nature keep the City of South Bend moving forward; and WHEREAS, it is almost impossible to describe the dedication of Jon Hunt to his -5- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - October 15, 1993 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) f. continued... work. He is honest, straightforward, dedicated, works incredibly long hours and is constantly striving to learn more, do more and solve new challenges. He respects his staff and is respected by his staff, he welcomes suggestions and ideas, fosters creativity and his door is always open to staff as well as to the public; and WHEREAS, Jon is committed to making South Bend an excellent place to live. In order to accomplish this he never forgets the public that he serves. He works to keep the public informed and builds consensus to achieve not "the City's " plan but "the community's" plan. He is sensitive to both business needs and neighborhood needs and works to share his vision and build coalitions of support. He encourages diverse groups to articulate their goals and incorporates these goals into community consensus, and WHEREAS, Jon R. Hunt was recently awarded the Ivan H. Brinegar Municipal Management Award by the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns in recognition of his dedication and his accomplishments. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, governing body of the City of South Bend Department of Redevelopment, that Jon R. Hunt be recognized for his distinguished service to M South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - October 15, 1993 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) f. continued... the City of South Bend, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission and the Department of Community and Economic Development. Adopted at the Regular Meeting of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission held on October 15, 1993 at 1308 County -City Building, 227 West Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana 46601. Ms. Auburn noted that there are very few individuals who work as hard and selflessly as Jon Hunt. There have been private sector companies who have offered Jon significantly more money to work for them, but he has declined. The Ivan H. Brinegar Municipal Management Award is truly deserved. Mr. Hunt noted that he was brought to the Commission meeting on false pretenses. He noted that he enjoys what he is doing or he wouldn't do it. What makes it enjoyable is the commitment, leadership and vision of the mayors, Commission members, and not -for- profit board members he has worked with over the years as well as the team of associates he works with in the Department of Community and Economic Development. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Piasecki and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1197 recognizing Jon R.

Commission approval requested for Certificate of Waiver for Thomas B. Brademas. Jr. and Michelle C. Brademas for property located at 1003 N. Sherman Ave. Ms. Richmond explained that Thomas B. Brademas, Jr. and Michelle C. Brademas received a Rental Rehab loan two years ago. During their first year review there were items outstanding that needed to be remedied before the Certificate of Waiver could be awarded. Those items are now remedied and this Certificate includes a $1,259.00 waiver for each of the years ending January 4, 1992 and 1993. Ms. Richmond noted that Tom and Michelle have purchased eleven other properties in the two block area surrounding this house. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded COMMISSION APPROVED THE CERTIFICATE by Mr. Faccenda and unanimously carried, OF WAIVER FOR THOMAS B. BRADEMAS, the Commission approved the Certificate of JR.

Sherman Ave. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - October 15, 1993 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) b. continued... Ms. Richmond explained that the City previously subordinated its rental rehab loan on this property to a regular mortgage. This subordination is a refinanced mortgage at a lower interest rate and slightly higher principal in place of the original mortgage, not a subordination to third position. Upon a motion by Mr. Faccenda, seconded by Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Subordination Agreement with Standard Federal Bank for Thomas B. Brademas, Jr. and Michelle C. Brademas for property located at 1003 N. Sherman Ave. C. Commission approval requested for Exclusive Leasing Agreement between CB Commercial Real Estate Group and Venterra. Inc. Mrs. Kolata asked that this item be tabled. d. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1196 relating to acquisition of property in the Sample -Ewing Development Area by Eminent Domain. Mrs. Kolata explained that Resolution No. 1196 sets the price for 18 pieces of vacant land and authorizes the staff to send purchase offers. The resolution also authorizes the use of Eminent Domain to acquire the property if necessary. If approved, we expect to send purchase offers next week.

Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Faccenda and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1196 relating to acquisition of property in the Sample -Ewing Development Area by Eminent Domain. e. Commission approval requested for Easement with Indiana Michigan Power. Mrs. Kolata explained that this item is related to the land the Commission sold to McClurg Leasing. Part of their development plan is a parking lot next to their building and moving the truck docks. Most of that work is done. However, there is an I & M pole in the middle of the parking lot that needs to be relocated. We are proposing to relocate it a few feet to the west, onto Commission -owned property and granting I & M a seven foot easement along the property line. That will mean that the pole will be on a piece of property that we will eventually sell to someone else, but it will be right at the edge of the property and will also serve the new owner. We think this is an equitable solution to the problem. Ms. Manier noted that this would have taken place during closing if the I & M Easement had shown up on the title. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Faccenda and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Easement with Indiana Michigan Power. -10- COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 1196 RELATING TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY IN THE SAMPLE -EWING DEVELOPMENT AREA BY EMINENT DOMAIN COMMISSION APPROVED THE EASEMENT WITH INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER 19 I �" South Bend Redevelopment Commission �` Regular Meeting - October 15, 1993 7. PROGRESS REPORTS Mrs. Kolata reported that appraisals are coming in. Gabriel and Hedy are working on them. Hedy and Gabriel have also been meeting with property owners. Mr. Howell asked what the status of the Trammell Crow building is. Mrs. Kolata responded that they are working on pre - leasing. We've received a functional design of a parking garage and need to share that with TCU. Transpo is moving ahead with plans to move. They have bids out for paving the lot at Main & Western. They expect to move yet this year. 8.
